The "D" in '''SNSD''' does ''not'' stand for "dork", but these are some events that will make us think otherwise.
-----
* These girls have many of these moments, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8i_ttyke6A especially Sooyoung]], but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uq-OLf8R5s Hyoyeon comes in a close second]]. The girls' episode of ''Intimate Note'' was a Crowning EPISODE of Funny. Special mention goes to [[ItMakesSenseInContext Hyoyeon's "Princess Fiona", Sunny's "Princess Ariel"]], Jessica's brief freak-out at Sunny, the Tall vs. Short team's battles, and this little moment from the Taeyeon/Sooyoung battle:
-->'''Taeyeon''': ''[Explaining how the height differences in the group work out]''
-->'''Sooyoung''': ''[Leans over and mutters something to the MC]''
-->'''MC''': She says you wore insoles!
--> '''Taeyeon''': ''[Sputtering, to Sooyoung]'' WILL YOU ''PLEASE'' BE '''QUIET'''?!
** To clarify: What starts out as a simple airing of grievances between the tall and the short members quickly descends into a massive free-for-all where each members annoying habits are exposed and ridiculed. Even the MC's (who are supposed to keep some kind of order and structure to the show) are effectively relegated to the sideline while the girls duke it out amongst themselves. And this keeps going for a full ''35 minutes.'' You can watch it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH1TTPEDbl0 here.]] (at least until Youtube removes it.)
** Also qualifies as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Seohyun. At one point the other members gang up on her commenting on her naivety and her dislike of boys. Seohyun not only has an answer for every single comment she also remains completely calm during the whole process never once losing her cool.
* Some of the videos [=(VTRs/VRCs)=] which serve as intermission numbers between songs during their concerts count as this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08K6GAJgw8A Try]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5Jy5nPQGpU not]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WK7eB_PpDE to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmEmbPNLSy4 giggle]].
* Courtesy of an Inkigayo fan account from 01/06/13:
--> Jessica threw her hat to where the fans were, and she got surprised when a fan got hit. When the fans said they were okay, she got the hat, looked over it, and asked, “Hat, are you okay?”
* Anytime Sunny and Taeyeon are being [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3874ptun91roar33o3_250.gif teased]] about their height.
** And them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlN4FvMv3Ys arguing about it]].
* Taeyeon's "[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwg7pe_eng-snsd-in-phuket-taeyeon-free-time_music free time]]" video on the ''Paradise In Phuket'' DVD.
* [[http://snsdfansuk.blogspot.com/2011/05/lee-hyori-recommends-snsd-to-finkl-fan.html This anecdote]] involving Lee Hyori, a veteran K-Pop Idol, former member of now-defunct GirlGroup Fin.K.L and a fan.

--->'''Lee Hyori:''' Do you still like Fin.K.L?\\
'''Fan:''' Yes.\\
'''Lee Hyori:''' Switch to SNSD.\\

* Hyoyeon's [[http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpqq228IYy1qecolyo1_250.gif walk]] at the end of their ''Bad Girl'' video.
* Sooyoung [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_1ZnJraL0I vs.]] Jessica (and technically Seohyun).
* Poor Sooyoung! She's lamenting not getting very many lines, so Sunny reaches out to [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/3cfe22b1c69feb5c6be5a7458688b6b2/tumblr_mg6o8549xM1r97x8vo1_r2_250.gif pat her on the arm]] and comfort her... then suddenly snatches her hand back. What happened? She pricked her hand on the spikes on Sooyoung's jacket! "Fashion is pain" [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/b28afcd4431b90887c3e71bc6f803476/tumblr_mg6o8549xM1r97x8vo2_r1_250.gif indeed]].
* Some of the [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwjxyu3Dm1r3w6i0o1_500.gif faces]] Taeyeon [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6kuttezSL1qiay65o1_250.gif makes]] during live performances definitely count.
** A lot of their live [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4plkljgnb1qee6wmo1_500.gif antics]] count - they're just having so much ''fun'' up there you can't help but laugh along!
* Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-qpbfg_Vh0 engrish]] skills (but be wary that they've improved nowadays).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeNAYvgG23Y Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Seohyun does the weather]].
* Sooyoung's... ''improvised'' version of the [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5e5994xQM1r61yvqo1_r1_500.gif arrow]] dance from "Hoot".
* Jessica's comment about "Don't run, however late you are. It just makes you tired and hot, and that's no fun!"
* Tiffany, Sooyoung, Jessica and Yuri were giving an interview and when the interviewer made a comment along the lines of "pretty kids are always nice", Tiffany [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lio0y6eSD91qahidbo1_500.gif zinged]] Jessica with a sweetly spoken "You must not be pretty, then!"
* Their pictures from the [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/626387cc20e50d3032f4833213359584/tumblr_mllzdvblZd1qb1285o2_500.jpg 2nd]] [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/1b7e490071495c3355c178feb7f2cf0a/tumblr_mllzdvblZd1qb1285o1_500.jpg Japan Tour]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/93c78f602f7ca7b96a41a8a5339ed641/tumblr_mllzdvblZd1qb1285o3_500.jpg Concert]] held at their last venue for that tour, Osaka.
* During one interview, Taeyeon could be [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/f0c8dad8c00ccce00d2830625de2b987/tumblr_mhclu2yA0p1r61yvqo2_250.gif seen]] struggling to lower her chair (far right).
* Sooyoung's [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/4244670410c439c7ab1e4531a4ae1bac/tumblr_mokiauGBjr1r61yvqo1_500.gif attempt]] at a nonchalant wink from "{{Series/Dating Agency Cyrano}}".
* SNSD do the "[[http://24.media.tumblr.com/fb61b96f63c18d27111245959c1745fe/tumblr_mq6knawUs31roup7oo1_500.gif wave]]"!
* Is Sooyoung [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/520d447e0f7d738a1c19359ed76243f1/tumblr_mqbujqyKxz1roar33o2_250.gif the]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/58abc8319dce761b6bf688674950db3b/tumblr_mqbujqyKxz1roar33o3_250.gif next]] [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/a44a106519af821de328d211d6725c61/tumblr_mqbujqyKxz1roar33o4_250.gif Taeyeon]]?
* All hail [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/5c4fd0977464ed0bf2549c5f2bd543c5/tumblr_mqb7auiYMI1roar33o1_250.gif Taeyeon]] and her [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/81306b03cb4a8111fad066766082c9e6/tumblr_mqb7auiYMI1roar33o2_r3_250.gif powerful]] kiss!
* SNSD does the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iK-R2tsxZs limbo]]. Noteworthy moments include Sooyoung and one of the hosts dancing together very intently - and then the host's wife chews him out, Hyoyeon managing to do a dance routine to the national exercise music, and Sunny being Sunny.
* Sunny said she would bow if SNSD won on a certain music show. They did win, but when Sunny went to actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EqmQcR8XBs perform the bow]]...
---> '''Sunny:''' Thank you everyone! I will now do my bow. ''[Sets the trophy down and then kneels on a piece of fabric]''
---> '''Tiffany:''' Ah! She's so embarrassing! Get her out of here!
---> ''[Taeyeon appears, wraps Sunny up in the fabric and begins dragging her off-screen as Sunny and Tiffany start giggling hysterically]''
---> '''Taeyeon:''' Oof, how am I supposed to do this!?
* A lot of their recent [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Wy4Dx0YTA encore stages]] count.
** Watch for Yuri and Hyoyeon dancing together mock-seductively, Sunny ''barking'', and then Jessica, Sunny and Tiffany treating Sooyoung as a stand-in for their backup dancers (who are male).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEpik6nHJ0s This Happy Together episode]] with Sooyoung, Sunny, Yuri, Seohyun and Taeyeon.
** At one point, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Sunny was asked to walk with quick short steps while crinkling her nose.]] She does so in a very exaggerated manner, prompting Seohyun, of all people, to comment innocently "You look like you've been drinking!"
* When they filmed ''Hello Baby''. A lot of CMOF moments were born:
** Sooyoung and Seohyun's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoBaugMr_aY impressions of a foreign woman named Christina]] who was on a variety show with SNSD and had a very... distinct voice.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0KHe-QnZm4 Sunny discovers the wonders of a stethoscope]].
** For one episode, the members left Kyungsan with the two members that avoid him the most: Tiffany and Jessica. [[HilarityEnsued Hilarity Ensued.]]
* The girls, especially Sooyoung and Yuri were absolutely nothing but hilarious to watch on variety shows back in the day because they goofed off and did funny impressions and other things, but eventually the group was scolded by the company, stating that acting goofy and adorkable was getting in the way of their "quiet, polite, girl-next-door" image. However, on the now defunct variety show, Come To Play's 2011 [=SMTown=] special, Sooyoung explained the situation and was coerced into doing one last gem in one of her infamous impressions:
--->'''Sooyoung:''' [[SuddenlyShouting WITHOUT VOCAL IMITATIONS,]] [[TakeThat HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO VARIETY SHOWS?!?!?!]]
* Yoona's flounder impression, as well as her infamous Teacher Kang (Gag Concert character) impression.
* While filming the variety show, Dangerous Boys, Yoona revealed that her and Sunny had a fight where Yoona was speaking really loudly in exaggerated aegyo while other members were trying to sleep in the dressing room and Sunny got up and told her that if she said one more word, she'd throw her down the stairs. A couple episodes later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOgeXiyEIPY this happened]].
* Their short-lived Horror Movie Factory show had such great moments:
** The girls' hidden camera prank on Taeyeon which was the whole point of the first episode. Special mention to Yuri for doing a convincing job of someone who was possessed by the spirit of a dead child and Sooyoung's convincing crying.
** The girls pair up and go through a haunted house and try to read a script whilst keeping their cool. Special mention to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNbRCKxMHWQ Jessica who was paired up with Tiffany]]. Jessica was so scared, she basically kicked everything and every actor and upon returning, started bawling into Taeyeon's arms.
*** Pretty much how every girl reacted when placed in that enviroment: Jessica was a mess, Sunny kept cool as a cucumber, and Seohyun was too happily distracted by everything to even react.
* [[http://www.asianjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TiffanyTylerTheCreator1-575x382.jpg This image]] of Tiffany being rather roughly hugged by [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Tyler, the Creator]]. You should really look at their eyes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Lh96bdbIc Yuri, Hyoyeon, Sunny, Seohyun, and Sooyoung dancing to]] [[Music/{{PSY}} "Gangnam Style"]]. It's ironic because "Gangnam Style" was the song that crushed the record that "Gee" had for the longest-running #1 song on Music Bank.
* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cz_Na9K6HQ this shoutout video]] to a SNSD fan channel celebrating their 6th anniversary, after they sing "Happy Birthday" Jessica brings new meaning to her "ice queen" moniker by randomly staying locked in one position and not even blinking.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxdh30Uv_O0 This snippet]] from a live performance of "Girls' Generation", which has Sunny and Taeyeon [[LesYay fake(?) kissing]] for four seconds. Equally funny is how ''all'' the cheering is male.
* [[https://youtu.be/gw0fzxPM8jU All the girls goofing off on Instagram live.]]
** A few seconds in and Taeyeon feels the need to set some basic rules:
--> '''Taeyeon:''' you can't curse kids, this is live. No cursing.
--> '''Tiffany:''' Yuri says to hurry up and get ready to shoot so... WE'RE GONNA KEEP SHOOTING YURI!
** Hyoyeon gleefully writing hate comments[[note]]followed by Tiffany's admonishing her to "Stop writing hate comments, Hyoyeon!" to which Hyoyeon simply smirks evilly while staring directly into the camera[[/note]], Taeyeon mimicking Tiffany's English[[note]]"C'mon, Yuri-yahhhhh!"[[/note]], fangirling over Sooyoung and imitating Seohyun's "Don't say no" dance.
* While SONES, as a whole, are a very supportive fandom, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AybCGJzCwxk Sooyoung's pterodactyl fangirl]] and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bc9MnhL8qw loud Taeyeon/Jessica fanboy]] take the crown for their dedication.
* [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQChVfNIFb-N6puUDwKeeE1aJxHqu8wvKFudTDwHwN8_cYrpdkV This]] adorable picture with [[BigGuyLittleGuy Sooyoung and Taeyeon]]. Same sweater, different feel.
* Taeyeon getting drunk with power [[https://twitter.com/moonbyul907/status/863999874911444992 at her concert.]]
* Sooyoung [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3_ndBv7gmkv as]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0tULucq7ac Sadness]] from WesternAnimation/InsideOut.
* [[https://twitter.com/_ggoh/status/918812592461828096 "All Yuri and Hyoyeon have done for the past 17 years is making fun of people".]]
* [[https://twitter.com/theFlyers_8/status/969208830432129025 "Nice weather]][[PrecisionFStrike , it's fucking cold]]."
* Sooyoung went viral in 2018 for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxzEu-ohhog her clip on "Knowing Bros"]] where she (jokingly) whined about things she "hated" about the other girls (Sunny's aegyo, Tiffany's being over-the-top "cute", etc). But then she got to [[DeadpanSnarker Hyoyeon]], and...
-->'''Hyoyeon:''' I hate the fact that your eyes are even open right now[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke a Korean idiom meaning "I hate that you're even alive right now"]][[/note]]! ''[Sooyoung and the others immediately fall to pieces laughing]''
** Sooyoung then went on to rib Hyoyeon for her "addiction" to nose contouring, Yoona's "bragging" about gaining weight (Hyoyeon immediately retorted "When they talk about things like this it's hard to even look at them[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke Sooyoung and Yoona are the two slimmest members of the group and the two biggest eaters]][[/note]]! ''I'm'' slowly gaining weight!"), Yuri's habit of doing leg stretches in the car, and Taeyeon's fair skin.
* In 2022 the group did another episode and did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTThXhphEAk callback to this moment]], with Sooyoung going through the group again (and again making a point to emphasize that it was all in fun and she only got irritated because she felt sensitive). Her complaints included Taeyeon's height[[note]]saying it was hard for the taller Sooyoung to properly match the rest of the group's dance level because she had to lower herself to Taeyeon's height[[/note]], the fact that Sunny remained calm and unbothered no matter what Sooyoung said to her, the fact that Tiffany had suddenly become so much better at Korean and a much better leader, Yoona and Hyoyeon were too hyperactive and irreverent, Yuri's self-confidence and Seohyun's upright, well-behaved personality. Then the girls were allowed to talk about what they disliked about Sooyoung and they did not hold back.
-->'''Hyoyeon:''' Sooyoung has a habit when she dances that I wish she'd tone down - to flaunt her charms, she tosses her head like this. ''[proceeds to dramatically fling her hair around]'' The original choreography would just be turning your hips, but she would toss her head like ''this''!
-->'''Taeyeon:''' So much that her hair bounces!
-->'''Yuri:''' We could all do it too, but we're holding it in because it's a group choreo and we have to be clean. ''[she and Hyoyeon imitate Sooyoung again]''
-->'''Seohyun:''' She flips her hair so much it ruins her parting and goes over her face!
-->'''Sooyoung:''' ''[interjects]'' Let me explain - I have thick hair so it moves a lot, and the part of the choreo when I go to the center -
-->'''Yuri:''' ''[disbelieving]'' "When ''I'' go to the center"?!
-->'''Hyoyeon:''' ''[annoyed]'' We're ''both'' on center stage!
-->'''Sooyoung:''' ''[dismissively]'' I'm at the front, so it's my part! Anyways, the choreographer told me to make the dance more "interesting", so that's what I did.
-->'''Yuri:''' It's funny that she has the nerve to tell us to "match our angles", but then she does ''this''! "The angles have gotta match" but then she does ''this''! ''[imitates Sooyoung]'' What ''is'' this?! I can do it too! ''[does an elaborate version of the choreo while everyone else laughs]''
-->'''Sooyoung:''' I actually didn't realize this at first, but when we do the ending part for the choreo we go "bam bam bam bam" and stay close together so Hyoyeon's right behind me, and as the camera's rolling, she says ''[imitates Hyoyeon]'' "Don't flick your head."
-->'''Yuri:''' ''[annoyed]'' Hey, I said that too!
-->'''Sooyoung:''' What I didn't realize was that I had accidentally slapped Hyoyeon in the face with my hair because I didn't realize that that wasn't how you were supposed to do the move.
-->'''Yuri:''' Oh ''yeah''? Well I ''also'' got slapped by your hair during a ''different'' point in the choreography because ''you'' had to go and be '''''extra'''''! ''[Sooyoung collapses in defeat]''
* The fact that Sooyoung got her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFJWRde3Etw first 4K fancam]] based off the above point and how popular it got.
* Their "[[https://youtu.be/OZhGAYY-CdM Shout in Silence]]" game, including Hyoyeon's complete and utter failure to communicate with Seohyun, Taeyeon and Tiffany's near-perfect round, Sooyoung's impatient shriek of "[[ItMakesSenseInContext SHINee, be quiet!]]"... Really, you've got to watch the whole thing.
